Subject: lockdep: fix incorrect state name
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>

In the recent mark_lock_irq() rework a bug snuck in that would report the
state of write locks causing irq inversion under a read lock as a read
lock.

Fix this by masking the read bit of the state when validating write
dependencies.
